Trafford's Trading Club

No.3 Hospital.

Gu Jiajie looked at the electronic board and perfunctorily answered the phone from his mother.

”Not yet, Iʼm still queuing up... No, not that serious... I just caught a cold. Full body examination? No, thereʼs no need... OK, I see. Iʼll ask the doctor.” Gu Jiajie looked around and listened to his motherʼs nagging.

”Dad? Heʼs fine... ”

Gu Jiajie wanted to stop this nagging and he suddenly said, ”Will you come back tonight? Working overtime... OK. No, itʼs not necessary to ask dad to come back, Iʼm OK.”

Gu Jiajie looked around and suddenly stopped.

He saw an absent-minded person with his head down walk pass.

A person close to his age.

A person who didnʼt notice him; a person who seemed to be deep in thought, but looked rather haggard; a person who seemed exactly like him…

Walk pass.

”Mom... Thatʼs all, itʼs my turn.”

Gu Jiajie hung up the phone and quietly followed him.

…

…

”Stop, Liu Jiahui! Please stop! Stop!”

Seeing him running out of the gate, Officer Ma who had hurt his foot shouted, ”Where will you go? What about your grandmother?”

He suddenly stopped and turned around, ”Whatʼs...whatʼs the matter with her? ”

Officer Ma came to him, ”Your grandmother is fine. But your mother is in pain. Donʼt you know that?”

”I... I have no mother.” He turned his face away.

Ma Houde said, ”Your mother is not very well now. And you just found out your twin brother died…”

He nodded, but lightly said, ”It doesnʼt mean I have to see her.”

Ma Houde frowned. The children of single-parent families have its tough...

Then he shook his head, ”Though they divorced, sheʼs still your mother. All misunderstandings will be gone if you meet. Isnʼt it your aim by following her?”

Ma Houde sighed due to Liu Jiahuiʼs silence, ”That day your twin brother died, you were there, right? Did you see how much pain she was in?”

”Stop talking!” Liu Jiahui suddenly roared, ”No matter whatever you say, I will not see her… At least, in a short time, I wonʼt!”

”You... think about it first.” Ma Houde didnʼt want to force him, ”Your grandmother is in the hospital and you mother knows youʼre there. To see her or not, it depends on you. ”

”Please tell her… I will meet her, but not now...” He thought for a while and said.

…

”Jiahui... Did he really say that? ”

In the ward, Shen Meihuan subconsciously grasped Ma Houdeʼs arm, ”Why doesnʼt he want to see me?”

”Please calm down.” Ma Houde sighed, ”Maybe he needs time to prepare. He cares about you, but donʼt force him. Give him more time. He Xiaomei is here, he wonʼt walk away. ”

Hearing this reminder, Shen Meihuan let go of Ma Houdeʼs arm. Yes, if she waited here, she could see Liu Jiahui.

But...she didnʼt got any information about Gu Jiajie.

Jiajie couldnʼt be found…The most urgent thing for Shen Meihuan now was to find him.

She glanced at the old He Xiaomei who also complexly looked at her, ”I... Iʼm leaving. Have a good rest.”

…

Shen Meihuan reluctantly looked back at the hospital.

”Mrs. Gu, Let us take you home. You must be tired. ” Ma Houde said.

”No, thanks.” Shen Meihuan shook her head, ”I wonʼt go back and I hate to see that man…If you really want to help me, please tell Gu Feng that I will get divorced him. And, stop following me.”

”This is my phone number.” Ma Houde nodded, ”Call me if anything happens.” There was no need to meddle in this family affair.

”Thank you.” Shen Meihuan went out of the No.3 Hospital.

At this moment, Office Ma saw someone hiding under a tree. He shook his head and said, ”Not even good officers can settle family troubles.”

He unconsciously touched his hungry stomach, and noticed that he had been busy about for one whole day without having a meal.

Oh no! He forgot to call the female tiger in his family.

”My God... Forty-six unanswered calls, Iʼll die!”

…

…

”Who, who are you?” He Xiaomei sensitively looked at the door and asked, ”Are you Jiahui?”

”Yes, Itʼs me.”

He Xiaomei breathed with relief and she grasped her grandsonʼs hand, ”Jiahui, your mother came here just now.”

”I know.” He shook his head, ”Donʼt mention her, Granny. The most important is you. Oh, the water is cold. Let me go and get some hot water for you.”

”Never mind. Just sit down.”

But Jiahui just went out and left a sighing figure of He Xiaomei, who felt sorry for his precocity and sensibility.

After Gu Jiahui went out of the ward, he didnʼt walk away but sat on the stool in the corridor, where he had had a long talk with his twin brother two months ago…

”Gu Jiajie...Is it necessary for you to exist?” He muttered.

He could not help but hug himself… He had clearly seen his mother and his living-dead twin-brother.

”What... really happened...”

…

…

He sat on the stool in the riverside park and quietly looked at the scenery.

A decaying living-dead person was conspicuous--- Even though this kind of make-up was very common.

But obviously, the passers-by didnʼt see him as if he didnʼt exist.

Also nobody saw the club boss, who followed him to walk through these places filled with memories--- the play center, the old town, the snack stores, the mall… and now sat near him.

The club boss seemed never to be tired, and sleeping was just a simple part of his life.

”Your mother and your twin brother havenʼt met yet.” He said this like a know-it-all.

”And your mother will come for you.” Luo Qiu whispered, ”What are you thinking?”

He didnʼt get any response except the flicker of light in Gu Jiajieʼs eyes, like in a candle in the wind.

Luo Qiu smiled and turned his eyes as he patiently waited… However, while waiting, a beautiful woman in black dress---Miss Black Water appeared.

This demon snake came here by the scent of the corpse…even though she knew Shen Meihuan would never come to her.

She had a sympathetic heart that she couldnʼt overlook this. Thatʼs why she was here, in front of Luo Qiu.

Miss Black Water lightly said without any surprise, ”It really is you… An ordinary person would not be able to resurrect a dead man.”

Luo Qiu just smiled to this ”familiar” woman, ”Do you really think he is a living-dead person?”

”He died.”

Miss Black Water frowned, ”His soul is gone. Now he is just a corpse. If he was possessed by the devil, his mother would be affected. At that time, what will you do?”

Luo Qiu shook his head, ”I donʼt know much about monasticism. But Miss Black Water, what are the chances in this situation that a vengeful soul will be formed in a body?”

Miss Black Water impatiently frowned and sternly said, ”Why are you so cruel?”

”We donʼt refuse customers requests.” Luo Qiu shook his head, ”Miss Black water, you can also give your opinion and… request for solving this problem.”

Miss Black Water sneered, ”Do you really think I want to make the dirty deal with you? No way!”

”All right, I hope so.” Luo Qiu looked at the opposite city of the river.

Miss Black Water didnʼt know what this hope meant. And at this moment, she even didnʼt see the inverted reflection in his eyes.

Miss Black Water was walking backwards. She was afraid that there was no other way to get closer to the dead body, except for making a deal with him.

”Why do you... let him live in this way?”

Luo Qiu lightly answered, ”I just want to know... What he is thinking. ”

”Does the dead body have thoughts?” Miss Black Water shook her head.

But at this moment, Boss Luo showed a silent gesture, ”Hush.”

He looked at her and whispered, ”Listen, the soulʼs first movement.”
